A CITY centre protest is set to be held this Saturday about changes to housing benefit. The Notts Trades Union Congress is set to hold the protest about the spare-room subsidy, which opponents have labelled the Bedroom Tax. It will take place at the Brian Clough statue at Market Square from 1pm. The changes to housing benefit mean families living in council or housing association homes whose property is deemed to be larger than they need get less housing benefit. Those with one spare bedroom lose 14 per cent of their benefit, while those with two or more spare bedrooms lose 25 per cent. The Government has said the old benefits system was "broken" and that the reforms were needed.
